Ontario Students must be nominated by their home university based on that institution’s selection processes and criteria. Application forms must contain a list of three Jiangsu universities at which the applicant may wish to study. The Academic Directors will place as many students as possible at their first-choice institution. It is program policy, however, that students be placed equitably throughout the system of participating Jiangsu universities. The prospective host university is responsible for deciding whether to admit students and at what level (graduate or undergraduate). Placement may also depend on arrangements to ensure the availability of required credits for each student.
